Furthermore, true love is self sacrificial, it is about others, not about self. He came to do the Father’s will, he surrendered to the Father’s will in his life – Luke 22:42. An example of this is in 1 Corinthians 13 which says charity seeketh not her own.

The only true love we have is when we have him in us. If we have not received God’s love first, we cannot love someone else. The Bible says that God is love – 1 John 4:8. The world’s love is completely different from God’s love. Noone who is of the world truly loves you. Noone who is of the world truly cares for you. The world will let you slide into a Christless eternity. The world does not care if and when you go to hell. You will die and the world will keep on going on. We see that Cain was characterized by selfishness. Have faith and you will overcome anything and everything the world throws against you. Do you want a man made city or the city of God? Is this world your home? Do you like the world’s wells, which are empty, which hold no water, which provide no life and no hope? Or will you come to the well of Jesus Christ, whose water springs up into everlasting life, whose water never fails? How do we overcome the world? By being born again, by our faith – 1 John 5:4,5. In Christ we sit together in heavenly places – Ephesians 2:6. For believers, our conversation is in heaven from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ – Philippians 3:20. Here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come, heavenly New Jerusalem – Hebrews 11. This world we are in lies in wickedness.The Bible says that when we are saved, we are in the world, but not of the world – John 17:14,15. 1 John 1:15 – God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. The kingdom of darkness does not and cannot mix with the kingdom of light. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us he that is not of God heareth not us. 1 John 4:5,6 – They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 1 John 4 talks about how the world and the believer can have no agreement, they have no part of each other. 1 John 3:13 says Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. There is the way of the world and there is the way of God. We are only victorious over the devil in and through Jesus Christ.įrom the story of Cain and Abel, we see that the world and the believer are diametrically opposed to each other. The Lord Jesus Christ is victorious over the devil. 1 John 3:8 says For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.

In John 8:44 Jesus said to the unbelieving Jews, Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. The devil is the spiritual father of all unbelievers, they cannot resist him, they work his works. We see the vileness of our flesh, we see that our flesh does not know God, cannot comprehend God, will not receive God, does not love God.ġ John 3:12 says that Cain was of that wicked one. We can see what the world is, what the world stands for, and who the world serves. By looking at the life of Cain, the way of Cain, we can understand great truths taught in the written Word of God. Cain represents the world, and he also represents our first nature, our flesh nature. The story of Cain and Abel is found in Genesis 4. Genesis 4:16 – And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
